Reviews

“Daugherty’s work, blending historical fact with imaginative conjecture, shows
how research in the Renaissance can be exciting today. His brave readings of
primary texts are supported by solid data and tempting arguments. His style is
carefully crafted and eminently readable. Scholars will, in the future, look with
renewed vigor at both Barnfield and Shakespeare because of Daugherty’s studied
conclusions.” — Professor George Klawitter, St. Edward’s University

“Leo Daugherty is the best literary detective I know. His discoveries here will
change the ways we think about Shakespeare and his times.”
— Professor Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University
